Showdown Troller/Pic


bee

Recommended Posts

This is supposed to be a great unit. I would recommend picking up the accessory bag thats uses for the normal showdown. That will give you a nice carrying case and battery.

I'm planning on using this right after I'm done drilling holes. I will check to see if I see anything before going to my marcum flasher.

Have you had any luck bringing it out?

i bought a 5.6 duel beam this year and love it. It comes with a 8' and 20' in one transducer. I've used it 4 time and have to say in my opion is the best flasher out fight know for the money. I have have a fl 12 and use the showdown. the only thing i can say bad about it is there needs to be a float on the transducer the arm that comes with it is just a waste.

Get a Vex rubber egg and a Vex float. I cut the Vex float down to work with my Troller as the xducer is small and takes less foam to float it.

Seems like a very slick compact unit. I think they said 20 hrs on the 6 AA batteries. I'm curious what this would be with the back light and LCD heater on. I wish they would bundle it with a compact Lithium rechargable.

for an additional $50 you can get the accessory pack that provides a case, 12 volt battery, and wiring harness.

There is not a battery in the performance pack, you need to buy the 12 volt battery separately

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
